How to make the recipe Crispy French Fries

1. peel the potatoes with a vegetable peeler or a sharp knife. If the potatoes are very dirty, you can wash them before peeling them.
2. Cut the potatoes into thin strips using a knife or a mandolin. The strips should be about 6 mm (1/4 inch) thick. If you have difficulty cutting the potatoes into thin strips, you can use a cutting guide.
3. heat the olive oil: In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat . The oil will be ready to use when it reaches a temperature of about 180-190°C (350-375°F). If you don't have a kitchen thermometer, you can check if the oil is hot enough by adding one of the potatoes you've cut to the pan: if the oil bubbles around the potato, it will be ready to use.
4. Once the oil is hot, add the potatoes to the pan and fry them until they are golden and crispy.
